Hello everyone. I was wondering how well xanax and valium works for short term relief from anxiety. I have to be a bridesmaid in ANOTHER wedding in May and in my past experiences, I have panicked horribly through every wedding I've been in and worry constantly for months and days before the wedding day. I've been an emet for years and what started out as fear of v has turned into fear of anxiety in public places andfeeling trappedwithout being able to excape. (which is how i feel during the wedding ceremony)


I know I should just decline when bride's ask me to be in the wedding but it's hard to say no. This time it's my sister-in-law and she is great but also catholic and having an hour long ceremony. I am taking 25mg of zoloft daily right now and will up the dosage soon to 50mg. I am tiny and a little underweight so taking too much meds make my belly hurt. I just would like to know if xanax and valium would help me with things like car rides and weddings. Are there any side effects? I know I should be asking my doc but I trust that this forum won't lie to me about meds making me sick like docs tend to do.


Thanks everyone!
